By Appointment: If your question is a little more in-depth, consider making a research appointment with one of the Rentschler librarians!
What exactly is a “research appointment”? A Rentschler Librarian will meet with you to help you get started locating resources for a specific research assignment, or can help you learn how to navigate library resources for general research so that you are prepared when that next paper is due. Sessions are 30 minutes, so you can count on having a one-on-one learning experience with the librarian’s undivided attention. For sessions to be successful, please fill out this form completely and give an accurate description of the assignment. We ask that you bring a copy of the assignment (if applicable), any outlines or citations already created, and a motivated research attitude to your appointment! If this sounds like the right path for you, you can request an appointment by clicking the button below.
If you need help right away and Rentschler Library is closed, you can call King Library in Oxford at 513-529-4141. You can find their hours of operations on the Locations and Hours page of King Library's website.
